The repentant ceremony at the Giai Lam Pagoda

On July 2nd, 2019 (lunar May 30th, the year of the Pig), hundreds of Buddhists in Thach Tan commune, Thach Ha district returned to Giai Lam pagoda in Ha Tinh to attend the periodic repentance ceremony.

Before entering the ceremony, Junior Ven. Thich Tam Chanh had a dharma talk to the mass. In his teaching words, in everyday life, having an anger often dominates us, causing our mind and body to be unsafely, and then easily causing mistakes and broken relationships. With suggestions on the effective methods of the Buddhism, we can face and control angry emotions, establish a balance in mind. Since then, we can improve the quality of life, without containing sadness and frustration in the mind every day.

After the dharma talk, Junior Ven. Thich Tam Nguyen, Abbot of Giai Lam Pagoda, guided the mass to begin the periodic repentance time.
